Wanted Stewartville Man Found in California

An arrest warrant was issued in October for 24-year-old Majed Ijong, who has been charged with sexually assaulting a young girl.

The criminal complaint filed against Ijong indicates the abuse began in September at the Stewartville home where he lived with his girlfriend, who is the mother of the girl. Investigators became aware of the reported abuse Oct 13th and the girl was interviewed a few days later. It was learned that Ijong was at the local detox center Oct 16th but he was released before he could be taken into custody.

Shortly after the warrant was issued, it was learned Ijong was in Las Vegas and that the girl’s mother was with him.

He was apprehended in Pacific Grove, Calif. on Saturday and it’s believed the girl’s mother was still with him.
